And using this years cap room for next years extensions is also a waste, sorry, PROFIT.

I don't recall them saying they've ever reserved $8 mill for injuries. I recall as much as $5 mill reserved in a recent season. Just because $8 mill might be reserved, for example, doesn't mean it was all reserved for injury replacements.

Technically, the Bengals have already spent up to the league's salary cap this season, which sits at $189 mill. They are currently at $188.2 mill. All that remains of the cap is what has been rolled over to this point. Jonah Williams, Ryan Finley, and Germaine Pratt will eat into that rolled over cap. Some of it will be eaten by extensions. Some will be reserved for injuries. The rest (if any) will be rolled over to next year.
